Abstract
- Virtual and hybrid events present both challenges and opportunities for engaging persons with disabilities. In particular, accommodations for people who are blind or low vision, and deaf or hard of hearing, are common challenges that technology has been able to address but still require some work on the part of facilitators in similar manners to in-person events. Centering accessibility, however, opens up your events and often makes them more welcoming for non-disabled participants as well. This document will overview strategies for event facilitators for ensuring maximum accessibility for virtual events to allow a wide variety of participants.
